  • There are some definite hits and some definite misses on Apple TV+ here’s the best and worst I’ve seen so far:

    “For All Mankind” - An awesome realistic Sci-Fi show that feels like a prequel to “The Expanse”. 4 seasons so far of top notch Sci-fi. Highly suggest for folks that were into The Expanse.

    “Silo” - Premise is basically Fallout except they call the vaults “silos” instead. Excise the peppy energy and self-awareness of Fallout and boom, you’ve got your gray mush run of the mill dystopian thriller “Silo”. It’s been a real yawner for me, I couldn’t make it through even 4 episodes.












  • Ah reread you message and you were asking specifically about trivia games. I thought you meant party games in general so I’ll just give you one of my favorites anyways!

    Just One! - retails for about 20 bucks but you can DIY this with an online random noun generator and some bits of paper and pencils. This plays best with more than 4 players.

    Cooperative game where the basic gist is one person is a guesser and everyone else are cluegivers trying to make him guess the mystery word by writing down a one word clue in secret. The catch is before revealing clues to the guesser, the cluegivers have to compare the clues they write with each other and if any of the clues match (or have matching root words) those are taken out and not revealed to the guesser.

    Games are out of a total of 13 words and even a getting 7 out of 13 right on your group’s first go is considered pretty good!

    It’s surprisingly fun for such a simple rule set since you have to think of good clues but not necessarily obvious ones that might conflict with other people’s clues. I highly recommend it!
